Bill > SR21

This Resolution requests the Office of Enterprise Technology Services (ETS), which oversees executive branch technology projects, to conduct a feasibility study on creating a single, statewide system for individuals and organizations to file and store documents needed for various government services accessed online. The study aims to determine how such a system could improve government efficiency and coordination, reduce the need for people to repeatedly submit the same information or documents for different services, and address important privacy and security concerns. The resolution highlights that the increased use of online government services, especially since the COVID-19 pandemic, has made this need more apparent, and points to the success of the Judiciary's online filing system as an example of potential benefits. The ETS is specifically asked to identify what types of information should be included in this system and to report its findings and recommendations, including any proposed new laws, to the Legislature by early 2023.
